<p>Hey all,
A few of the schools I'm looking into have a requirement through Calc II. I've taken Business Calc, and am considering the option of plunging straight into Calc II before sending out applications. Considering the common concensus that Business Calc is nowhere near as difficult as Calc I, would this be a wise move? I don't really have the time to take Calc I, nor will both count for credit. But I'm also worried about tarnishing a rather impressive GPA if I'm unprepared for some of the material in Calc II. Any advise would be appreciated. Thanks in advance</p>
<p>Everyone knows B Calc is a joke compared to Calc I. You have two. You have two choices:</p>
<p>(1) Take Calc 2 right away and risk doing poorly and damaging yourself in the long term.
(2) Take Calc 1 and being a bit rushed on time or busy with an extra class. </p>
<p>I think option 2 is 100% better because option 1 is so much riskier.</p>
<p>Calc II is the hardest of the three calc courses (I took Calc I and II). I’d take Calc I for sure. At least you have somewhat of a foundation for I but really no solid foundation for II.</p>
<p>If you’re going to rush in to calc II make sure you know your integration and derivative laws as well as trig. Otherwise like everyone else you’ll probably end up needing tutoring anyways so there’s no point wasting time in taking calc I</p>
<p>Business Calc is Calc I without the Trig.</p>
<p>Calc II is nothing but Calculus based Trig.</p>
<p>You do the math.</p>
<p>I’ll likely be taking Calc I first. Just sucks to be taking courses for which I won’t be getting credit. Either way, sounds to be the only way. Much appreciated.</p>
